Hi Fabio,
i have not that enough experience to solve kernel drivers issues ... sorry !

Quote:

I've got a new notebook (Fujitsu T902) that has a Wacom pen/touch digitizer, that's not working with wacom-0.15.0.ko.gz.

I presume your running Pemasu's uPup-precise with kernel 3.2.29 ...?
1) To check if the already built-in wacom.ko works (distros with kernel version above 2.6.35 comes with an already updated wacom.ko driver; so no need to compile it ...according to wacom-project website):
? before installing whatever wacom stuff, have you tried first:

Code:

#depmod
#modprobe wacom

this load and activates the wacom.ko (no need to restart X nor reboot): your tablet MUST work as a common mouse.
if not there might be a problem =>first check the integrity of the distro's iso ...best is to re-download and re-install to be sure.

To make pen works correctly, delete file /etc/udev/rules.d/65-wacom.rules (tested in upup), otherwise pen works bad.

Here have installed xf86-input_k.3.2.29-upup-wacom-0.17.0.pet on several install of uPup-precise ... no the slightest problem with an old Volito1 and a more recent Bamboo-MTE450A wacom tablets.
OK if it works for you.
I do not know about the necessity to delete 65-wacom.rules ... maybe you're right.
65-wacom.rules creates the symlink /dev/input/wacom; without this symlink, the tablet works only as a common mouse (= if using mtPaint or Gimp, no pressure sensitivity; no relative cursor arrow positioning either, if lifting the pen/mouse from tablets pad, then the cursor moves to one corner of the screen).
Someone more experienced with udev rules should confirm if this could be compatible for all hardwares/distros.
To check if the tablets functions are recognized, typing in a console should return something like:

sorry, i have no touch tablet so i cannot perform any testing = i cannot help you; i believe you would gain to browse across wacom-project documentation here
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Main_Page
there you might found xorg.conf settings adequate to your tablet (for non touch tablets, xorg.conf setting have needed some tuning to get the pen/cursor working; i.e. options "Threshold" and "CursorProx" ...value 5 works for Volito1; but Graphire needs another value).
Hope this helps

Tip: On modern desktop distributions, you do not need the kernel or X drivers in the linuxwacom tarball.

- I now could understand and presume it would no longer be necessary to compile the xf86-input driver for so called «modern distros». Latest kernel might then well come with all wacom stuffs ... !
and indeed ..=> :
Looking inside both uPup-Precise 5X47 and 3.7.2 isos, are found:
- wacom.ko i.e. kernel driver ... present on all puppies;
- wacom_drv.so i.e. Xorg X11 driver
- xsetwacom which allows settings from console
BUT: i don't yet know if some additional udev rule or some xorg.conf.d might be needed.

For your tablet (type = ?), both built-in drivers might be enough to get it working at the condition the /etc/X11/xorg.conf settings are adequately tuned => see Linuxwacomproject website to find the your-tablet-specific settings.

Please read the link above to keef's post, edit your xorg.conf file as reported, and get a try re-doing what he did. Your tablet might well work.

About compiling drivers: here i just mount the devx_XXX.sfs file to get the Xorg driver compile environment; kernel headers (or source) addition is necessary to compile the kernel driver (i.e. wacom.ko ; but i confess i resist to compile it as it often failed) ... but imho you might well lost your (so precious... ) time trying compiling the kernel driver.

Hi,
(please read previous post first)
Tested on a fresh (= «pristine») precisave.3fs running uPup Precise 54X7: i can confirm that my Volito1 wacom tablet works - included pressure sensitivity on mtPaint - without any compiled xf86-input-wacom_xxx.pet installed ...
...at the following conditions (in facts, nothing new to what is reported in this thread):
1. the puppy distributions built-in wacom.ko driver needs to be loaded using the bootmanager and will be active on next reboot =>so do reboot; if you don't want to reboot, it also can be done manualy (for the current session only; must be re-done after an eventual reboot) doing in console

Code:

#depmod
#modprobe wacom
#

1.1 to check if that wacom.ko driver is activated, do in console:

Code:

#lsmod
... <=IF WACOM IS LISTED, wacom.ko is activated

2. /etc/X11/xorg.conf must be edited by adding the wacom «bits» as already reported along the present thread; once edited X MUST be restarted (see main Menu, or just pressing the keys combination Ctrl-Alt-Backspace).
3. once all this is done, it needs a few seconds for the cursors arrow to move in accordance with the pen/mouse displacements.

No need to add
/dev/input/wacom symlink ... it is generated automaticaly as also /dev/input/tablet-name symlink;
nor
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf, also automaticaly generated
nor
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-wacom.rules which was in the xf86-input-wacom pet (forum member keef already reported to get the tablet working having deleted this file)

all this works on dPup-Exprimo-3.6.2 / Precise-3.7.2
hope all this helps

Hi charlie6,
the procedure that you are explain in previous message don't work for my tablet PC.
It need an updated Wacom driver, the one that I compiled on Upup 3.2.29 is patched from Ping Cheng <pingc@wacom.com>.

I don't be able to compile the packet input-wacom-0.16.0.tar.bz2 in upup kernel 3.7.2, if you are able to do that or tell me how can I do I'll be grateful.
Thank you for you attention.

D/L an existing xf86...pet an extract it somewhere not at the same directory level as the one in above paragraph.
You will use it as a template replacing the compiled stuff in it.
Rename that directory to xf86-input-wacom_kXXX.
Here use the dir2pet right-click option present on all Pemasu's puppies
or
#dir2pet /root/xf86-input-wacom_kXXX
... <= here answer to the question
#
When done you got a
xf86-input-wacom_kXXX.pet
Then install it.
That's all
Charlie

Perhaps I must use Kernel-headers or somewhat else? And how can I do?
I use currently devx_precise_XXX.sfs and Kernel-src.XXX.sfs where XXX is Puplet version and Kernel version, with this 2 files compilation is fine (I've compiled yesterday Realtek SDCard Reader driver because Puppy can't recognize SD card slot).

For xf86-input-wacom-0.19.0.tar.bz2 i can ignore compilation and load your .pet instead.

Can you tell me if input-wacom-0.16.0.tar.bz2 is defective or needs some tweaking to work?

About compiling drivers: here i just mount the devx_XXX.sfs file to get the Xorg driver compile environment; kernel headers (or source) addition is necessary to compile the kernel driver (i.e. wacom.ko ; but i confess i resist to compile it as it often failed) ... but imho you might well lost your (so precious... Wink ) time trying compiling the kernel driver.

(it creates wacom.ko in dir 2.6.3Cool but cannot compile at all on upup non-PAE kernel 3.7.2

if the input-wacom-0.16.0.tar.bz2 has been made before kernel 3.7.2's make then ... no surprise...it cannot give output for a kernel that did not ever exist at that time.
You maybe ought to PM Ping Cheng.

it worked here with usb tablets ...i can't tell more ... see Linuxwacomproject for more details you would need.

wacom driver enclose in Upup, Puppy, Fluppy or Precise of every version don't work on my laptop.

Command "depmod" and "modprobe wacom" has no effect.

If you open file input-wacom-0.16.0.tar.bz2 I enclose in previus messages You'll find several directory, one for each kernel (2.6.30, 2.6.36, 2.6.3. There is one named 3.7, that perhaps is not complete, not works.

Compilation of this file in Upup kernel 3.2.29 goes OK but file wacom.ko is formed in directory 2.6.38 even on kernel 3.2.29.

ONLY THIS FILE GENERATED with this compilation works on my laptop, no other one.

Fabio,
that are good news!
if so, on the 54X7 session,
/etc/X11/xorg.conf has been edited (= you have edited it) by adding wacom «bits» in
Section ServerLayout
and also so many
Section Devices
---
End Section
for
stylus
eraser
cursor
pad
touch

Now for 3.7.2, if you edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf the same way, you might well get the same results.
Do not forget to check if wacom module is loaded (#lsmod | grep wacom); if not load it using the «Menu/System/BootManager Settings/Load Kernel Module» option and reboot; it will be loaded at each boot.
